"And so Eliot Spitzer headed to his midtown office to make the announcement while receiving what the networks now refer to as the full O.J. [on screen: video of Spitzer's car driving through Manhattan]. As you can see, the trip gave commentators ample time for analysis [on screen: a montage of news anchors commenting on the traffic in Manhattan]. So interesting to hear about. By the way, it's not really for me to judge, but if you are in the car with your wife on the way to resign from the state's highest office after facing prostitution allegations, I'd run that light. Shorten what I imagine would be a fairly awkward car ride. What's a ticket compared to what's been going on? $200 extra. I've heard that some prostitutes spend more than that on room service." --Jon Stewart
"With all this talk of hope and change and idealism and getting the country back on track, it was a friend of mine, an old friend who -- he wanted to say something to you. Is he ready to say it? [on screen: Pres. Bush saying, 'Iran is a threat to world peace']. Boo! That's former president, what is that? Oh, he's still. Bush's warning to Iran was sort of a nice reminder for all of us here in the country that he's still the president. And to drive the point home, he's actually going overseas. The president has taken on an ambitious Middle East eight-day, six-country, 12-war visit. I assume he's going to the Middle East like kind of one of those post Katrina surveying of the damage kind of, did I do that?" --Jon Stewart
